What is it? CC HydroTM section

CC HydroTM Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Barrier (GCCB) is a
revolutionary new containment product from Concrete Canvas Ltd.
It combines the company’s concrete filled geosynthetic technology with
a high impermeability, chemically resistant geomembrane backing. The
geomembrane provides a high performance liner with a testable joint for
quality assured containment applications. The liner incorporates a hi-visibility
welding strip allowing joints to be thermally welded providing an air channel
for on-site testing.

The flexible concrete filled geosynthetic, hardens on hydration, to provide long

term protection to the geomembrane from puncture, abrasion, weathering
and UV degradation. This hard armour concrete surface effectively removes
the need for concrete, soil or aggregate top cover, normally required with
conventional liner systems. CC HydroTM is available in 2 thicknesses; CCH5TM
and CCH8TM (5 and 8mm) for a wide range of containment applications.

CC HydroTM User Benefits

All-In-One Solution
CC HydroTM combines the impermeability of a containment liner with the
hard armour protection and durability of concrete, reducing install times and
simplifying logistics.
No Top Cover
CC HydroTM does not require a protective top cover. This removes the need for
additional excavation, the treatment of contaminated arisings and the import
of costly fill material.
Maintains Volume Capacity
CC HydroTM can be laid directly onto existing profiles without loss of volume
capacity for refurbishment projects, providing significant overall time and cost
savings.
Reduced Life-Cycle Costs
CC HydroTM provides effective weed suppression eliminating the ongoing
maintenance cost of soil covered systems. CC HydroTM also reduces the end- CC HydroTM air-channel pressure testing
of-life costs associated with treatment of any contaminated top cover.

CC HydroTM Key Properties

High Impermeability
CC HydroTM has excellent impermeability and has been independently tested
to BS EN 14150 to have a water permeability better than 1x10-11m/s.
Durable
CC HydroTM has a hard armour surface, protecting the geomembrane liner
from puncture, abrasion, weathering, burrowing animals and UV degradation.
Chemical Resistance
CC HydroTM has been shown to have excellent resistance to a wide range of
chemical reagents, including hydrocarbons, digestates and acidic leachates.
Testable Joints
CC HydroTM incorporates a high-visibility welding strip, allowing the joint to
be thermally welded with an air channel for fast and simple on-site pressure
CC HydroTM Bulk roll
testing and quality assurance.

 CC HydroTM Applications
Bund Lining

CC HydroTM can be used to provide a durable, chemically resistant, high impermeability liner for secondary containment applications. Combining
the flexibility of a geomembrane with the hard armour protection of concrete, CC HydroTM can be used for bund and berm lining across a wide
range of sectors including petrochemical, anaerobic digestion and mine tailings. Concrete Canvas Ltd currently supply 7 out of the top 10
oil and gas operators worldwide.

Channel Lining
CC HydroTM can be rapidly unrolled to provide a high impermeability channel, flume or canal lining for drainage, irrigation or hydroelectric schemes;
providing flow characteristics similar to smooth concrete (manning’s = 0.011) is 5 times as abrasion resistant as standard OPC concrete - please
refer to CCH Data Sheet.

Lagoon & Canal Lining

CC HydroTM provides a cost-effective primary containment solution for lagoon and canal lining (for example, river diversions); providing excellent
puncture resistance, UV protection and long term durability.

Other
CC HydroTM can be used for a wide range of containment applications, whether it be new-build or the remediation of existing infrastructure, for
example, storage tank base lining.

Cube testing at Water:Powder ratio of 0.3 to correspond to GCCM hydration by immersion to ASTM D8030 * Probe did not make a full penetration through the product, therefore the depth of penetration is zero.
Occasionally there will be a Beam Fault (fabric imperfection under 100mm wide running across the width) in a Bulk Roll. This fault is unavoidable due to the manufacturing process and the fault will be clearly marked with
a white tag, there will be a maximum of (1) one Beam Fault in any Bulk Roll. A joint may need to be made on site where there is a Beam Fault as the material at a fault will not reach the performance specified in this Data
Sheet. The maximum un-useable material due to any Beam Fault will be 100mm. There are no beam faults in standard batched rolls.
CC HydroTM should not be used for the primary containment of liquids that would be detrimental to the environment. Information is provided based on current test data and may be subject to change as new information
becomes available. The versatile nature of CC HydroTM means that all application conditions cannot be anticipated. Concrete Canvas Ltd makes no warranties and assumes no liability in connection with this information.
